Reviews

"...they'll be creeping and crawling to get their hands on this collection of zany rhymes." -- Children's Book Review
"First of all, the main little critter is sporting nothing but his tighty whitey underwear. This alone had my kids giggling." -- KC Books
"It's official: Kenn Nesbitt's poetry is kid- and parent-approved! His 'wacky animal poems' carry the common thread of silly critters in impossible situations - a recipe for laugh-out-loud page-turning fun." -- She is too Fond of Books
"Nesbitt's poems are funny and have a well, wacky off-beat kind of humor that really connects with kids (and their teachers and parents, I might add)." -- Lit for Kids
"So many of the poems are funny, but they are also very smart and full of little twists. I know kids will love the surprise endings. I think this really is a book that kids will want to read over and over again -- even those reluctant readers." -- Booking Mama
"The Tighty Whitey Spider is exactly the kind of book my daughter would have loved when she was in elementary school. I can't think of a better way to help younger children develop an early appreciation for poetry than reading Nesbitt's poems." -- The Mother Daughter Book Club
"The poems aren't dull and boring, they are full of action and fun...If all poetry was this exciting, I'd definitely read more!" -- Jenns Bookshelves
